Having no prior exposure to the world of Yuna Kagesaki’s shojo comedy horror manga, Chibi Vampire, I initially wasn’t sure how beginner friendly Tokyopop’s new short story collection, Chibi Vampire: Airmail, would be.

An Interview with Sara Paretsky, Author of Body Work

Sara Paretsky has an astonishing body of work and, yes, that is an intentional play on words on her latest novel titled Body Work, featuring her recurring, fascinating, protagonist V.I. Warshawski.
